Hello, thanks for the replies.
soontobeexpat: I am a research student interested in theatre commentary, so I need to be able to understand as much of the dialogue in balinese performance as possible and also Balinese discussing among themselves. There are also nuances that cannot be expressed in Indonesian.
spicyayam: This sounds like a very good price. Is your teacher a trained tutor? I asked around yesterday and this is what I found out: The faculty of Letters at Udayana charges $20 (about Rp 170.000) for 100 minutes and a friend of a friend who works at the University asked for 200-250k for 1.5 hour. So 50.000/hour is a bargain. Where is your teacher based and would you be willing to share? :icon_wink:

I've found it very difficult to find someone who is trained to teach the Balinese language in the south. I'd also be interested, spicy.
Our tutor charges RPH 250,000 for 90 minutes and RPH 300,000 for 120 minutes. This takes into account his travel time which is about 1 hour each way. These lessons are for 2 persons, my wife and I.
I know from some teacher and some friends from Udayana too... Trained tutor or teacher for Bahasa Indonesia or Basa Bali charge 200K-300K IDR for 90 minutes privat lesson for max 2 persons.
Given your spelling of the most basic word in the Indonesian language in title of this string, I would suggest you'd start with lessons in bahasa Indonesia, which will GREATLY facilitate your acquiring basic skills in bahasa Bali.:concern:
Hi Daniel, appreciate that. I always thought it was Bahasa, but if you look at the post before mine, the person put Bahasa Indonesian, and then put Basa Bali - so I thought that I must have been wrong and just copied what she had written.
Thanks Daniel! Still smiling!!

Some college student majoring in Balinese literature would be a great mentor and maybe worth the price i think
do anyone still need one ?
